Today's Football - 2023/2024 Season

[roydo]

And all the RS defenders with their arms up claiming offside! Deluded!

A bit off topic @Old Blue 2 mate, me not you, but in the Telegraph book review today they pumped up a new book by Rowland White, called Mosquito. Thought of you when I read it.

Not saying anything after what happened at Newcastle. They still manage to create chances when down to 10.

Where was the excessive force? It was just a 50-50. Guy was fine and it was just an unfortunate ricochet.

What a fun way to wilfully misinterpret the rule. “Excessive force or endangers the safety of the opponent”

Whether intentional or not, his foot comes over the top and endangers the opponent’s leg/ankle.

Thanks for that, roydo. That was one superb multi-purpose aircraft!

A ref should also be taking account of the effect the ball had. It was just accidental contact and worthy of a yellow.

Absolutely dreadful defending

Bullocks - RS equalise.

There you go, no stopping the devils club this season, great time to score.

No dopamine hit here I'm afraid

Why?!

Should they start chalking off OGs because the defender didn’t mean it?

If your foot is high enough that it skips off the TOP of the ball and into the opponent’s leg, you’re running the risk. If contact after is minimal then endangerment can be called into question but when it lands flush on the leg/ankle, the oppo is in danger and it’s a red.

Spurs CB’s feet moved very slowly for that goal

 

[Everton1654]

That Sarr is dreadful

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Absolute powerhouse of a team at times, even with 10 on the pitch. Horrible at the best of times, but even more so when we’ve just done our annual Goodison surrender to a promoted team.

 

[Everton1654]

Must be a PED cycle season

 

[from_the_eighties]

Hate to say it but I think the RS are a better attacking side than City, they simply always look like scoring bags of goals even when down to 10 men. City should have put that poor Wolves side to bed today.
